A "must do' activity when you visit New Zealand. Recommended to do a self-guided tour so you can spend more time to explore the area. Enjoy.

It was an excellent guided tour especially brought alive and with 100% passion by Kylie. Her knowledge and her customer service brought the tour to an intimate crescendo. Love the sweet corns and stories of her ancestors and living traditions of cooking and bathing

Do not miss the performance. We enjoyed the village tour but the performances where they sang and made the haka were special!

A wonderful morning spent, we did the guided tour and our guide was excellent. The geo walk was quite eerie amongst all the steam and bubbling pools. Highly recommended. Sall J
